Workspaces in MangoApps help organize employees based on their functions and collaboration needs within a company. Creating a workspace provides a structured environment for seamless communication and efficient teamwork.
Creating a workspace consists of 3 steps: Enter Details, Configure Modules, and Set Custom Fields (except for Departments).
In this section, admins will define the workspace details.
Name (Required): Enter a unique name that clearly identifies the workspace.
Short Description: Provide a concise summary of the workspace's purpose (limit: 2,000 characters).
Upload a Photo (Optional): Add a logo or relevant image (250x250 px, <100KB). To exclude an image, uncheck the Show Photo box.
Assign Categories: Choose relevant categories to help users easily find the workspace.
Public: Anyone in the network can join and participate.
Private: Only workspace members can view and interact with content.
Allow Non-Members to Post Updates: Check this box to allow non-members to post updates in the workspace. Non-members can view their own updates and receive notifications for comments on their posts but cannot see updates they did not post.
Unlisted (Groups and Projects Only): Only invited users can view the group. Network Admins do not have access by default.
Member: Users can participate and view content.
Admin: Users can manage workspace settings and permissions.
Select users to manage department settings and content.
The department creator can remove themselves as an admin and add others. If removed, they will no longer be a department admin but can still perform administrative actions while maintaining the Creator role for the department.
Multiple department admins can be assigned at once.
Add relevant hashtags to improve searchability of the workspace.
Set Start and Completion Dates: Define project timelines.
Choose a Time Zone: Ensure deadlines align with team locations.
Color: Select a color to represent the project on the project calendar.
In this step, admins can add modules to the workspace and configure the module behavior for the space. The list of available modules will depend on the type of workspace being created.

Modules can be enabled or disabled at any time from the Admin Tools menu.
In this last step, admins have the option to provide additional details about the workspace using custom fields.
Projects: Purpose, Date of Creation, Country, State
Groups: Benefit, Topic
While this step is not required, filling out these details can enhance organization, improve searchability, and provide team members with useful context about the workspace’s purpose and contents.
